A Summer of Changes
Chapter 5: We're Here!
The "freakin" plane had finally landed, and a taxi ride later, Lizzie, Gordo, and the rest of the gang had arrived at the cabin. Cabin wasn't really the word for it. Lodge was more like it. Mrs. Gordon's sister and her husband were both doctors, and it was evident through the size of the house. Their were 5 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, a kitchen, a game room with a pool table and a foosball table, a sitting room, a family room, an office, a dining room, and a porch. Out back was a pool, a deck, a swing set and best of all, a dock that lead to Lake Winnipesauke. The house sat just feet away from it. The dock was large, and it had an area to keep the boat, and a separate area with a bar, and a few tables. It was nice just to sit out there and enjoy the quiet. It was also fun to sit at the end of the dock and just dangle your legs over the side. Lizzie loved it there.
"Here we are!" exclaimed Mr. Gordon.
Lanny leaned into Matt. Matt nodded his head in agreement. "Lanny and I call the room with bunk beds!"
Everyone laughed and decided to settle in and freshen up before reconvening for dinner. Lizzie was a little sad when she brought her suitcases up to the bedroom where she would be staying. It was the one with lavender walls and two twin beds that she and Miranda usually shared. It really belonged to Gordo's cousin Lauren. She was a year younger than Lizzie.
Gordo climbed the stairs to third floor behind Matt and Lanny. There were two bedrooms up there. One was for his twin cousins, Danny and Conner, that was the one where Matt and Lanny would stay. The other was for Gordo's cousin Chris. He was the oldest son of his aunt and uncle. He was 18, and Gordo's closest cousin. He was working at a camp in New Hampshire for the summer and Gordo was looking forward to visiting him. They were pretty good friends. Gordo threw his suitcase on the bed and picked up the note on the dresser.
Gordo!
Hey man! Hope you are having a kick-ass summer. Welcome back to the house! You better come and visit me ASAP! Just call the camp and let them know you are coming. The number is on the other side. They make me drive the camp truck over here, so I had to leave my car at the house. The keys are in the top drawer of the dresser. You can drive it whenever you want. I figured you are a little too old to be chauffeured around in the minivan. Have fun! Talk to you soon.
Chris
Gordo knew he had always liked Chris. He had just given him permission to drive his almost brand new convertible! Gordo was to excited to keep that to himself.
"Lizzie!" he shouted down the stairs.
"What?" she yelled back. "Gordo, where are you?"
"On the third floor! Come here quick!" he commanded
"What?" she asked again, as she climbed the stairs.
"I have the keys to Chris's car!" he announced, excitedly.
"He's going to let you drive his brand new convertible?" asked Lizzie, in disbelief.
"Yep! No more minivan for us!" he exclaimed.
An hour later, the Gordon's and the McGuire's were eating dinner in downtown Meredith (a town on Winnipesauke with little shops). After they had finished, they discussed the evening plans.
"Well, I'm up for some drinks out on the deck!" announced Mrs. Gordon.
"Me too!" agreed Jo.
"That was a long flight!" added Sam.
"Ok, so back to the house for drinks it is!" decided Mr. Gordon.
Lanny leaned over to Matt. "Lanny and I want to have a foosball tournament!" he exclaimed. "We challenge you, Lizzie!"
"Thanks, but I think I'll pass." Remarked Lizzie. "Playing the gruesome twosome in table soccer is not my idea of a fun night."
"Fine." Replied Matt, defensively.
"Hey Mom!" exclaimed Lizzie, getting an idea. "Is it ok if we stay here and shop for a little while?"
"Oh great." Said Gordo, rolling his eyes. "I should have known that I would be a substitute shopping buddy for Miranda."
"It'll be fun!" exclaimed Lizzie.
"Well, I don't see why not." Remarked Mrs. Gordon. "I mean as long its ok with Jo and Sam, and if you're back by 12."
"We would be." Remarked Gordo. "Believe me. I can only take so many hours of shopping."
They all laughed. It was agreed that the parents, Matt and Lanny would head back to the house, and Lizzie and Gordo would stay, as long as they were back by curfew.
"C'mon Gordo!" exclaimed Lizzie. "The shops are only open until 10! And it's already 8!"
"Oh no! Only two hours to shop!" remarked Gordo, sarcastically.
"Stop complaining." She scolded him. "I promise we'll get an ice cream after I look in a few stores."
"Ok." Agreed Gordo reluctantly.
